§ MR. BRYCEI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he can now state what progress has been made by the principal railway companies of the United Kingdom in endeavouring to provide proper facilities for the conveyance by rail of bicycles, for the reduction of the rates charged for their conveyance, and for setting apart at the larger stations places where they may be left without risk of injury?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADENo, Sir; I am not able to make any statement on the subject. I have reason to believe that the matter is re-receiving the earnest attention of the railway companies, who are doing their best to deal with a very difficult problem.
